WW2 at Dunnet Head and Burifa Hill

The exhibition of World War Two artefacts and archive of Dunnet Head and Burifa is now housed at the Scapa Flow Visitor Centre, Lyness, Hoy, creating a link of information provision across the Pentland Firth. The exhibition was donated to Orkney Islands Council in 2011 by the Dunnet Head Educational Trust. From Dunnet Head, the most northerly point of the UK mainland, you can travel to Hoy via Northlinks Ferries from Scrabster to Stromness and then from the Houton Ferry Terminal to Hoy. Hoy is also famous for the Old Man of Hoy - a distinctive rock formation which attracts many climbers each year.
